It is a weird gulf fed thing, mixing in the upper atmosphere with cold air.

I suppose that explains it, but you'd think this stuff would calm down considerably once the temps fall off a bit.

As Wayoverthehill says, the current temps haven't moved that much off today's high. That's probably it right there.

Unless, of course, it’s a hoax...

I'm sure it was the real thing. I just saw another video of the same funnel cloud taken from a different angle.

Neighbors are transporting people to hospitals because there aren’t enough ambulances available. God Bless Texas!

Safely through the first round. Second round moving in on us from Springtown & Boyd.

It's hitting us now.....just rain at the moment.

They're showing pics people took of the hail stones from earlier. Monsters...

I don’t think this one was/is an F5, fatality reports would be catastrophic. I’m not even from Texas but I know about Jarrell. That storm haunts me. Nothing. Gone. Stripped the pavement off the roads.

I am seeing hail colored stuff about to hit me on radar. Wild flare up to storm all of a sudden.

Want me to tell you about Jarrell? There were initially few fatalities reported because the ones killed were vaporized or blown miles away.

I’m just saying, brace for bad news and Thank the Lord if he spared Granbury.

My old boss got pics during and after Jarrell.

Holy CRAP!

Many of the pics you’ve seen of that were likely his.

That's Texans for you. No thank you, FEMA (as if). We take care of our own.
